and its complications.
 Sexual revolution; young
people engage in daring
sexual activities in public
spaces like cinemas.
 The post-independence and
post-Filipino-American
period in the Philippines
were experienced
differently by Filipinos
coming from different
classes. The upper class
experienced economic
prosperity while the

just at that time but up until
at the present time.
